Heat dissipation structure
The disclosure is related to a heat dissipation structure. The heat dissipation structure is adapted to accommodate a fluid and thermally contact a heat source. The heat dissipation structure includes a heat conductive plate and a channel arrangement. The heat conductive plate is configured to thermally contact the heat source. The channel arrangement is located on the heat conductive plate, and the channel arrangement includes a wider channel portion and a narrower channel portion. The wider channel portion is wider than the narrower channel portion, and the wider channel portion is connected to the narrower channel portion so that the channel arrangement forms a loop. The channel arrangement is configured to accommodate the fluid and allow the fluid to absorb heat generated by the heat source through the heat conductive plate so as to at least partially change phase of the fluid.

THERMAL DISSIPATION MODULE
A heat dissipation module used for an electronic device is provided. The electronic device has a heat source. The heat dissipation module includes an evaporator, a pipe, and a working fluid. The evaporator has a recess at an exterior surface thereof, and is thermally contacted with the heat source to absorb heat generated from the heat source. The pipe is connected to an inner space of the evaporator and forms a loop. The working fluid is filled in the loop, wherein the working fluid in liquid passes through the evaporator, absorbs heat, and is transformed into vapor to flow out of the evaporator.

FROST TOLERANT MICROCHANNEL HEAT EXCHANGER
A heat exchanger is provided including a first manifold, a second manifold, and a plurality of heat exchange tube segments fluidly coupling the first and second manifold. The heat exchange tube segments include a bend defining a first slab and a second arranged at an angle to one another. Each of the heat exchange tube segments includes at least a first heat exchange tube and a second heat exchange tube at least partially connected by a web extending there between. The first heat exchange tube and the second heat exchange tube are asymmetrical such that a cross-sectional flow area of the first heat exchange tube is different than that of the second heat exchange tube. A fluid flows sequentially through the first heat exchange tubes of the first slab and the second slab, and then through the second heat exchange tubes of the second slab and first slab.

EVOLUTIVE PRECOOLER
An aircraft heat exchanger arranged longitudinally and including a casing with an inner chamber configured so that coolant flows longitudinally from an inlet to an outlet, a plurality of laterally spaced longitudinally extending inner chamber plates, and a plurality of channels defined between contiguous plates. Each plate includes a leading edge oriented towards the inlet and configured to divert coolant towards the channels. A plurality of the plates include an inner hollow area configured to conduct a flow of hot bleed air therethrough. Leading edges of a first group of plates are arranged in a stepped pattern. A gap defined between the first group of plates and a first casing lateral wall establishes a fluid coolant communication through the first group of plates between the casing inlet and outlet. The lateral distance between each leading edge of the first group of plates and the first lateral wall decreases longitudinally.
Aircraft heat exchangers and plates
A heat exchanger plate for provides heat transfer between a first flow along a first flowpath and a second flow along a second flowpath. The heat exchanger plate comprised a body having: a first face and a second face opposite the first face; a leading edge along the second flowpath and a trailing edge along the second flowpath; a proximal edge having at least one inlet port along the first flowpath and at least one outlet port along the first flowpath; and at least one passageway along the first flowpath. Along a proximal portion, the first face and the second face converge at a first angle. Along a distal portion, the first face and the second face converge at a second angle less than the first angle.
